United Kingdom Tottenham said Rodrigo Bentancur was “conscious” after the Uruguay midfielder was taken to hospital following his concerning injury in Wednesday’s League Cup semi-final first leg against Liverpool.

Bentancur stooped to head a corner after seven minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and stayed on the ground after falling unchallenged.

His team-mates showed immediate concern and play was stopped as Bentancur received medical attention for nine minutes before he was replaced by Brennan Johnson.

The 27-year-old was given oxygen through a mask during the treatment as a hush fell on the capacity crowd.
